Libya government forces say repel Haftar attack on Tripoli
[ARABNEWS] Forces loyal to Libya’s UN-recognized government said they fought off a "major" attack on the capital Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
led by strongman Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all...
that left casualties on both sides.

On Monday "our forces repelled a major attack by Haftar forces on several fronts in southern Tripoli which they had planned and mobilized for days," front man Mustafa al-Mejii told AFP.

He said six fighters loyal to the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) were killed and several others maimed.

The fighting left 25 dead or maimed on the other side, he said.

GNA forces carried out seven air strikes on positions held by Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army in Tripoli suburbs, including Ain Zara some 12 kilometers from downtown Tripoli, the front man said.

"Within a few hours our forces succeeded in forcing them to retreat, and seized new positions that had been under the control of Haftar’s forces," he said.

During the fighting GNA forces also destroyed military hardware, including three tanks, seized others and captured 11 fighters, the front man added.

The LNA meanwhile said in a statement on its Facebook page that it had made progress in the combat zone of southern Tripoli, "inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy," without giving details.

On the weekend the GNA expressed fear that Haftar forces were prepping a new "military escalation" in their months-long push to take Tripoli where the UN-recognized government is based.

Deadly fighting has rocked the capital’s outskirts since the LNA launched an offensive to seize the capital.

Five wounded as Syria rocket hits Turkey border town
[ARABNEWS] Rocket fire from Syria injured five people in a Ottoman Turkish border town, the Ottoman Turkish defense ministry said on Tuesday.

One of two rockets fired hit a house and "lightly maimed" five in the town of Ceylanpinar in Sanliurfa province on Monday night, the provincial governor’s office said in a statement.

They were taken to hospital for treatment, it added.

Ottoman Turkish media, including CNN Turk, reported six injured including a child, adding that the owner of the house was "in a serious condition."

Ottoman Turkish armed forces responded, "destroying seven targets" inside Syria, the defense ministry said in a statement.

It was not clear who was responsible for the missiles from Syria or their origin.

The Syrian Kurdish YPG militia controls parts of northeastern and northern Syria. Ankara considers it a "terrorist" offshoot of Kurdish Death Eaters inside The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor...
The YPG worked closely with the United States in the fight against the ISIS group, much to Turkey’s chagrin.

group, a judicial council said.

One of them was found implicated in terrorist attacks against security forces near the Baiji oil refinery and the University of Tikrit in the Sunni-majority province of Salahuddin, Baghdad Today website quoted the Supreme Judicial Council as saying in a press statement on Thursday.

The other convict confessed to running a workshop for booby-trapping Islamic State vehicles in 2014, the statement read.

The court rulings were issued pursuant to article no. ¼ of the anti-terrorism law, it added.

Iraq’s anti-terrorism law empowers courts to convict people who are believed to have helped jihadists even if they are not accused of carrying out attacks.

The exact number of detained Islamic State Death Eaters is still unknown, however, it’s estimated to be at thousands. It’s also unclear how many members are likely to face death sentence

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Syrian media says Israel carried out airstrikes in country’s south
[IsraelTimes] Air defenses said to intercept missiles near Al Harah, in area that is reportedly home to several Iranian-backed militias.

Syrian state media on Tuesday night reported Israel carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in the nation’s south, close to the Israeli border.

Local media reported that air defenses short down several missiles around half past midnight.

State news agency SANA and state TV added that the "Israeli aggression" struck al-Harra hill that is home to Syrian army posts adding that it only caused material damage and did not inflict any casualties.

According to Rooters Western intelligence sources have said the area is home to several Iranian-backed militias.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
According to Ynet, explosions began around 12:40 a.m. near the Golan Heights. Then again at 1:00 a.m. two more explosions were heard. One in the Quneitra area and another in Tel al-Hara in the northwest of Daraa.

This area had long been an outpost for Russian forces but was later taken by Iranian-backed militias, according to Western intelligence sources.

Tel Haraa is a strategically located area in southern Deraa province overlooking the Israeli-held Golan Heights. It was for many years a major Russian military radar outpost until rebels took it over in 2014 before it was again recaptured by the Syrian army last year.

The zone has been a target of Israeli raids against Tehran-backed militias which have become entrenched in southern Syria and the Golan Heights near the border with Israel.
And more from the Jerusalem Post
Israel attacked Hezbollah and Iranian militias in Daraa and Quneitra according to Syrian report.

The Syrian news agency reported that the IDF carried out an attack on several targets that were Iranian and Hezbollah militia sites.

New reports say that a missile fell on a base and several people have died and others wounded.

This is a developing story.

The bombardment comes a day after regime and Russian air strikes killed 50 people in northwestern Syria.

Israel: Iran smuggling dual-use items for Hezbollah arms by sea into Beirut port
[IsraelTimes] At Security Council briefing, envoy Danny Danon says Tehran exploiting civilian firms and maritime channels to supply weapons to its Lebanese proxy terror group since last year.

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
on Tuesday accused Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
of exploiting civilian companies and maritime channels to smuggle weapons manufacturing equipment to its Lebanese proxy group, Hezbollah.

In the quarterly meeting on the Middle East, Ambassador Danny Danon told the Security Council that Israeli intelligence has uncovered evidence showing Iran’s Quds Force has been using the port of Beirut to ship items to the terror group since last year.

"In the years 2018-2019, Israel found that dual-use items are smuggled into Leb to advance Hezbollah’s rocket and missile capabilities," he said.

"Iran and the Quds Force have begun to advance the exploitation of the civilian maritime channels, and specifically the Port of Beirut," Danon said. "The Port of Beirut has become the Port of Hezbollah."

In a statement, the Israeli mission said "Syrian agents" purchased the dual use items from foreign companies under false pretenses, and handed it over to the terrorist group after picking up the shipments from the port.

Danon presented the Security Council with a map of the Hezbollah transfer routes that included major hubs at the Damascus airport, Beirut’s port and airport and the official border crossings between Syria and Leb, such as the Masnaa crossings.

He said the weapons transfers violated UN resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Leb War between Hezbollah and Israel.

Danon did not detail what items were obtained by the terror group through these means or name the companies behind the shipments.

Last year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly that Hezbollah was hiding precision missile production facilities underneath Beirut. He revealed satellite photos purporting to show the secret facilities, located within close proximity of Beirut’s international airport.

US ‘may have brought down’ second Iranian drone in Strait of Hormuz
[NYPOST] A US military commander said a Navy ship may have downed a second Iranian drone last week in the Strait of Hormuz.
My personal opinion is that we should knock them down whenever they come within range.
​"​As always it was a complex tactical picture, we believe two drones. We believe two drones were successfully ‐ there may have been more that we are not aware of ​‐ those are the two that we engaged successfully," ​Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie told CBS News on Tuesday.

​Speaking aboard the USS Boxer, the ship that ​targeted the drones, McKenzie said they are "confident we brought down one drone, we may have brought down a second."

CBS said the incidents took place about an hour apart after the Navy believed the two aircraft were flying too close to the ship.

​The USS Boxer was monitoring Iranian boats and helicopters in the region.​

claimed the US brought down its own drone, a notion that President Trump dismissed by saying during a White House event Monday that the US used "new technology that’s actually quite amazing."

The development comes as Iran seized a British-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz last Saturday and after Trump called off a military strike against Iran last month for shooting down an unmanned US surveillance drone.
